FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
kobecorman A must see documentary on the Mk Ultra mind programming in Montauk. It's not asking your opinion, just watch it and learn from it. Well filmed and well put together. So glad I found it. True terror that is mind expanding and enlightening. A movie for the higher mind that shows what the US government got up to in the 70's onward.
witchspy I purchased Montauk Chronicles last month and I wasn't really knowing what to expect. I saw the trailer after hearing the director speak on Coast To Coast AM. I'm a HUGE movie fan. I was born in 1954 and I've had many years to absorb and watch each following decade of movies unfold before my eyes. I'm really turned off by most movies of today. It seems like we lost something in recent years. So here comes Montauk Chronicles a docudrama that covers the tale of three men who say they were part of secret government experiments in the 1970's I was immediately taken by the images/cinematography in the movie. It seems like every frame was pondered over and frankly is quite beautiful. But after a while I realized I've never seen anything quite like this movie before. The central story is good and the interviews are interesting but I was sincerely focused on the craftsmanship in this film. The editing, camera work, creative decisions are all the work of an artist. It's honestly some of the best science fiction or horror images put on film that I've seen in a VERY long time. As for the topic covered. I think the men could be telling the truth about this experiment. They're interesting enough to listen to. It's really the movie as a whole that takes the front seat for me. Bravo. I cannot wait to see what this director makes next.-M W.
jake_fantom If you are looking for a juicy conspiracy film featuring space aliens, evil government agencies, and nefarious human experiments... keep looking. This pathetic excuse for a documentary is an amateurish exercise in sheer idiocy. An assembly of the usual "eyewitnesses" spin fantastic and yet somehow utterly boring yarns about their experiences below ground in a sinister Air Force base where children are mind-controlled for unspecified reasons — all without a single shred of evidence to back up a single bizarre assertion. One of these talking heads, a bearded character named Swerdlow, is an obvious huckster who is apparently promoting some kind of pay-per-view scam he has concocted on a paranoiac members-only website. I have never seen a less credible presenter. Face it, folks, there are enough conspiracy/UFO/secret world government nut jobs out there for them to amount to a market! Anyway, top the whole thing off with a ludicrous high-tension soundtrack, a sound mix that sounds as if it was done by a ten-year-old, and a voice-over script that never uses a simple word when a bigger more pretentious-sounding word is available — and you've got the whole picture. Sooner or later all the usual suspects show up, the Illuminati, the Grays (who we are informed are actually just mind-controlled human fetuses!!!) — everything short of Dracula and the Wolf Man. And with all that going for it, the filmmaking is so plodding and repetitive that it's almost impossible to sit through more than a few minutes at a time. A truly shameful piece of... work.
megatom64 This movie is basically just an overly long interview with Stewart Swerdlow. He recalls tales of torture, mind-control, traveling through time to collect Jesus' blood. It is all just very very dumb. Who really buys into this stuff? I sometimes like these kind of documentaries because they will have interesting reenactments or are able to create an interesting creepy vibe. This movie doesn't really. The "creepy" segments play out like a wannabe Nine Inch Nail video. Also they will usually have just like one shred of evidence. Really the only evidence shown in the film is a bunker that is on an old air force based. This isn't really evidence, they don't even try to go in there. Just really dumb stuff here, and not even presented in an interesting way.
